Originally, according to Zhu Heng's original intention, he wanted to call himself sick and not go, but he thought about it instead, no matter what reason his father wanted to use him, he always had the value of use, why not use this value himself, maybe one day he could also counter the other party?

After all, it is not easy to find an opportunity to show his face in front of the ministers, let alone this kind of occasion, this is a justifiable announcement to the world, he Zhu Heng don't look at his legs badly, but he is still the most qualified person to stand by the emperor's side and pray together!

"I'm sorry, I can't accompany me out of the palace tomorrow, can I postpone it for a day? Or simply postpone it for two days to catch up with the child's 100th day? Zhu Heng asked.

He really wanted to meet Zeng Rong's two brothers to see what kind of waste it was, one was going to sell his sister to marry, and the other was going to sell his sister to tie up, to be honest, if it wasn't for Zeng Rong's sake, he would have ordered someone to send the two brothers to be coolies, otherwise how could he be able to resist Zeng Rong's jump?

There is also a pair of unscrupulous parents in his hometown, such people are not worthy of happiness at all, and they are not worthy of a good life, so he ordered Uncle Qin to ask someone to go to Zeng Rong's hometown, and put some pressure on the patriarch of the Zeng family, not allowing anyone to take care of them, help them, and not allow them to give them directions, so they will stay in the village and don't come out in this life.

Although Zeng Rong didn't know that Zhu Heng had done something behind her back, she really didn't have the idea of bringing Zhu Heng into Nanqing Hutong to meet her family, not to mention how special Zhu Heng's identity was, mainly because she herself didn't think about how to go in the future.

Before entering the palace, she had a very clear goal, to prevent the marriage between the Xu family and the Wang family, to seek justice from Wang Chuchu in the previous life, and to prevent the son of the imperial concubine from ascending the throne.

As a result, she was a little lost.

I thought about going on with Xu Jing, but I didn't want to be a concubine, but I didn't want to marry him as a wife, but I just wanted to stay by his side as a female official, simple, clean, and refreshing, and I didn't have to be caught up in the battle of women in the backyard.

In this case, she definitely didn't want to take Zhu Heng to see her family.

"Forget it, I've taken a vacation, and besides, it's cold and snowy outside, I'm going to the New Year's Hall tomorrow, and the Queen Mother will never let me go out again the day after tomorrow, it's almost the end of the year, don't get sick." Zeng Rong shook his head and said.

"Yes." Zhu Heng told her in turn.

Then, he turned around and took out a rosewood box from the bookshelf on the kangtou, and without asking Zeng Rong to guess what Zhu Heng wanted to do, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't give me a silver ticket, I have enough silver on hand to spend." ”

In October, Yu Yunqing Tuo Amei gave her a message, saying that she wanted to prepare a little more new goods for the New Year, and asked her to design a few purses, sachets, ornaments, pendants, screens and other things, Zeng Rong got two hundred taels of silver tickets, which was enough for her to support her family.

"Don't work so hard in the future, I said, I didn't think I was so poor, and anything that can be solved with silver is not difficult for me." When Zhu Heng heard that Zeng Rong had stayed up late to paint again, he was very unhappy and distressed at the same time.

"I know, I didn't think I was so weak. Besides, I also thought about it, when the New Year is over, the spring begins, let my brother find something to do, after all, I have to support myself, I don't plan to care about them for the rest of my life. ”

Zeng Rong really wanted to use the two hundred taels of silver in his hand to let the eldest brother do something, exchange it for a small shop or go to the countryside to buy a few acres of land, and he would find an errand by himself, and it should be possible to live.

Zhu Heng saw that Zeng Rong had arranged it, and this arrangement was very much in line with him, so he didn't say anything more.

The next day, because he didn't have to go to work, in the winter, Zeng Rong got up when he was on the kang, freshened up a little, took the package that he had sorted out yesterday, took the token to leave the palace, and walked to the palace gate.

It is also a coincidence, when I was in Xihuamen, I suddenly met Queen Wang and led a bunch of concubines to leave the palace, they were going to the gate of Puji Temple to give porridge, but they didn't expect to suddenly see Zeng Rong before getting into the carriage.

So, Wang Tong ordered someone to call Zeng Rong to her and asked Zeng Rong to accompany her to Puji Temple, saying that she would make up a hand and pray for the Queen Mother.

Zeng Rong felt that the queen was deliberate, obviously carrying a burden on her hand, and a token was hung in front of her waist, and the other party also made this request, which was clearly deliberately to embarrass her.

But the other party is the queen, and there are so many concubines around him, even if Zeng Rong is reluctant, he has to agree. But before getting into the carriage, she subconsciously glanced at the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine smiled back at her.

The street at the entrance of Puji Temple has long been surrounded by water, Zeng Rong and his party are squeezed through by the guards to open the way, and there are two greenhouses about three feet high from the ground at the mountain gate, there are two steaming big wooden barrels in front of each greenhouse, and a long table is placed next to the barrel, and there are two long lines lined up in front of the table.

Zeng Rong paid attention to the observation, in addition to the poor people in ragged clothes, there were also ordinary people in clean and neat clothes or people from wealthy families, these people obviously did not come to the porridge, but the members of the royal family, especially the queen.

Zeng Rong also knew that the first spoonful of porridge every year must be sent out by her personally, and it is a blessing to grab it, which is why it attracts so many passers-by.

The queen's carriage can only be parked outside the mountain gate, fortunately, Wang Tong is not the first time to see this scene, she brought a lot of guards and eunuchs to maintain order, so as soon as the carriage stopped, soon there were eunuchs holding the curtain to surround the carriage, and the palace maid stepped forward to help Wang Tong get out of the carriage.

Wang Tong wore a dress symbolizing the queen's identity today, with a knee-length bright yellow hat, and went up a few steps with the support of the palace maid, and entered the greenhouse on the east side, on the other side, the imperial concubine also led several concubines into the greenhouse on the west side.

The crowd soon surged, some were interested in the queen and wanted to see the demeanor of this woman in the world, and some were purely hungry and cold, so they wanted to quickly drink a sip of hot porridge to warm up.

Zeng Rong didn't go into the greenhouse, only stood next to the porridge bucket, and after the queen stood up, she cleared her throat and said a few words, which was nothing more than to appease people's hearts, saying that the court cared about the people very much, and prayed for good weather in the coming year.

After speaking, Wang Tong began to pick up the long spoon and scoop the porridge into the bucket, and sent about ten bowls of porridge out, Wang Tong put down the spoon and looked at Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong hurriedly entered the greenhouse from the steps, put down the package in his hand, and took the spoon in the hand of Queen Wang.

After that, Wang Tong helped the palace maid out of the shed and left a message for Zeng Rong, saying that she was going in to burn incense to the Buddha.
